HSC (VET in Schools) Course options

Unit credit for the Higher School Certificate

Visual Arts and Contemporary Craft HSC VET courses count as Board Endorsed unit credit for
the HSC but do not contribute towards an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). To facilitate flexibility of VET in the HSC, courses may be delivered as Preliminary, as HSC or
as a combination of Preliminary and HSC units.

The HSC credit units will be allocated to students’ Preliminary and/or HSC patterns of study as
required. The pattern of study (NESA course number) entered on Schools Online should reflect the
delivery of the HSC VET course over successive years. For example, delivery of a 240 HSC
indicative hour course over 2 years should be entered as 2 units x 2 years. Students will be
credentialled for the HSC credit units entered each calendar year, provided they have
satisfactorily completed the course requirements for that calendar year as determined by the
school, college or RTO.
